I understand your predicament However? This might be a bridge too far.
More Mainline airplanes is one thing. Another fleet is something else.
As Powerful as ALPA is you might have "gone around the bend" on this one.
I don't decry you for trying but ALPA has no business in the fleet makeup department. Especially since you can fly whatever they bring through the door. you can take this for what it's worth. They're NOT buying any new SNB so you might want to re-negotiate that scenario to more of the narrow bodies we REALLY need because the E180/195 isn't it! Especially NOT flying where the Company intends for them to GO. We've got A320's and 737-700/800's for that and possibly some returning 737-500's.
Just a matter of opinion. But you're wasting your Time.
I'm not following...did I say something about ALPA? I flew with an ALPA guy and he said he thought one day 190s would be mainline. I don't think he said that from an ALPA standpoint but from a pilot standpoint.
